SPITZEN UND EINSÄTZE

Brigitte Bellon presents us here with 25 different edgings and insertions.

Some of them are quite narrow, some wider, there are modern designs (which remind us of Leni Matthaei), but also more traditional guipure lace, a plaited lace completes the collection. Some patterns are explicitly meant as handkerchief edging, others can easily be imagined as decoration for tablecloths, curtains or traditional costumes.

For each pattern you will find a straight pricking as well as a corner (in most cases 90° but sometimes 120°), a working diagram and a coloured photo. Not all of the corners that exist as pricking have been worked though.
